  • Story Text: Libyan anti-aircraft units engaged at least one NATO warplane over Tripoli on Saturday (April 16). Tracer fire could be seen rising over the Libyan capital soon after a NATO plane was heard flying overhead.
    What sounded like distant explosions could also be heard, but it was not clear what had caused them.
    The anti-aircraft fire came from the north and north-eastern parts of the city.
